If you prepared it correctly for a new user and it opened to the Hello Page, when you power it on, your Apple ID, nor Find My would be enabled on the phone. The only thing you can do is contact your carrier and have them blacklist the phone.

No don’t wait call them! Once the other person steals the phone all they had to do was take it to their provider and have it activated.


the only way to prevent that is by IMMEDIATELY calling your provider to have them blacklist the phone.


besides, most of the time when you go in to a cell provider store, those are just sales people they can’t help you with issues like this and they will just tell you to call in.

I setted up before I used 2 days the phone after it buying it the phone. Then I wanted sell it and now is stolen. My I cloud is connected before (history) with this phone. I have the code of thr phone. But I deleted everything inside of this phone for the "next user". Can I block the phone so he can not enter the phone. For next new user. My simcard is out. He have only the phone. "new/used".
